Dave Chinner a66979abad fs: move i_wb_list out from under inode_lock
Protect the inode writeback list with a new global lock
inode_wb_list_lock and use it to protect the list manipulations and
traversals. This lock replaces the inode_lock as the inodes on the
list can be validity checked while holding the inode->i_lock and
hence the inode_lock is no longer needed to protect the list.

Dave Chinner 250df6ed27 fs: protect inode->i_state with inode->i_lock
Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the
inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions
independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling
away the inode_lock from the code.

This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks
during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread
marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the
reference.

Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation
required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW.
Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the
state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky,
remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where
necessary.

Tejun Heo 69e02c59a7 block: Don't check events while open is in progress
Not all block drivers clear events immediately after reporting.  Some
do so in ->revalidate_disk() or other steps during ->open().  There is
a slim chance event poll may happen between the clearing event check
from check_disk_change() and the actual clearing of the events which
would result in spurious events.

Block event checks while block device open is in progress.  There is
no need to kick explicit event check afterwards as events are always
checked during open.

-v2: The original patch could have called disk_unblock_events() with
     an already released or %NULL @disk causing oops.  Fixed by making
     sure references are put after disk_unblock_events() is called.
     It also makes the error path of __blkdev_get() a bit simpler.
     This problem was reported by Jens.

Tejun Heo 6936217cc7 block: Don't check events on close unless it was blocked
The block event mechanism currently always checks events when the
device is being closed regardless of the open mode.  The intention was
to allow detection of EJECT_REQUEST when a device is closed whether
disk event polling is enabled or not.

This is unnecessary as, for devices of interest, events are checked
from either userland or kernel and in the former case ->check_events()
is performed on open of each poll attempt anyway.  Furthermore, this
unconditional event check on close makes the code susceptible to event
loop if the block driver doesn't clear reported events correctly - an
event triggers userland to open and close the device which in turn
causes another event, rinse and repeat.

Check events on close only if it was blocked by excl write open.

Tejun Heo e7407d1619 block: bd_link_disk_holder() should hold on to holder_dir
The new implementation of bd_link_disk_holder() added by 49731baa41
(block: restore multiple bd_link_disk_holder() support) didn't get an
extra reference for the holder_dir kobject of the slave bdev; however,
bdev kills holder_dir on removal, not release, so if the slave bdev is
removed while there are holder links, the holder_dir will be destroyed
while there still are holder links, which leads to oops later when
bd_unlink_disk_order() tries to remove those links.

Make bd_link_disk_holder() grab an extra reference for the slave's
holder_dir and put it in bd_unlink_disk_holder().

NeilBrown 93b270f76e Fix over-zealous flush_disk when changing device size.
There are two cases when we call flush_disk.
In one, the device has disappeared (check_disk_change) so any
data will hold becomes irrelevant.
In the oter, the device has changed size (check_disk_size_change)
so data we hold may be irrelevant.

In both cases it makes sense to discard any 'clean' buffers,
so they will be read back from the device if needed.

In the former case it makes sense to discard 'dirty' buffers
as there will never be anywhere safe to write the data.  In the
second case it *does*not* make sense to discard dirty buffers
as that will lead to file system corruption when you simply enlarge
the containing devices.

flush_disk calls __invalidate_devices.
__invalidate_device calls both invalidate_inodes and invalidate_bdev.

invalidate_inodes *does* discard I_DIRTY inodes and this does lead
to fs corruption.

invalidate_bev *does*not* discard dirty pages, but I don't really care
about that at present.

So this patch adds a flag to __invalidate_device (calling it
__invalidate_device2) to indicate whether dirty buffers should be
killed, and this is passed to invalidate_inodes which can choose to
skip dirty inodes.

flusk_disk then passes true from check_disk_change and false from
check_disk_size_change.

dm avoids tripping over this problem by calling i_size_write directly
rathher than using check_disk_size_change.

md does use check_disk_size_change and so is affected.

This regression was introduced by commit 608aeef17a which causes
check_disk_size_change to call flush_disk, so it is suitable for any
kernel since 2.6.27.

Chuck Ebbert e51900f7d3 block: revert block_dev read-only check
This reverts commit 75f1dc0d07 ("block: check bdev_read_only() from
blkdev_get()").  That commit added stricter checking to make sure
devices that were being used read-only were actually opened in that
mode.

It turns out that the change breaks a bunch of kernel code that opens
block devices.  Affected systems include dm, md, and the loop device.
Because strict checking for read-only opens of block devices was not
done before this, the code that opens the devices was opening them
read-write even if they were being used read-only.  Auditing all that
code will take time, and new userspace packages for dm, mdadm, etc.
will also be required.

Tejun Heo 49731baa41 block: restore multiple bd_link_disk_holder() support
Commit e09b457b (block: simplify holder symlink handling) incorrectly
assumed that there is only one link at maximum.  dm may use multiple
links and expects block layer to track reference count for each link,
which is different from and unrelated to the exclusive device holder
identified by @holder when the device is opened.

Remove the single holder assumption and automatic removal of the link
and revive the per-link reference count tracking.  The code
essentially behaves the same as before commit e09b457b sans the
unnecessary kobject reference count dancing.

While at it, note that this facility should not be used by anyone else
than the current ones.  Sysfs symlinks shouldn't be abused like this
and the whole thing doesn't belong in the block layer at all.

Nick Piggin fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Tejun Heo 77ea887e43 implement in-kernel gendisk events handling
Currently, media presence polling for removeable block devices is done
from userland.  There are several issues with this.

* Polling is done by periodically opening the device.  For SCSI
  devices, the command sequence generated by such action involves a
  few different commands including TEST_UNIT_READY.  This behavior,
  while perfectly legal, is different from Windows which only issues
  single command, GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION.  Unfortunately, some
  ATAPI devices lock up after being periodically queried such command
  sequences.

* There is no reliable and unintrusive way for a userland program to
  tell whether the target device is safe for media presence polling.
  For example, polling for media presence during an on-going burning
  session can make it fail.  The polling program can avoid this by
  opening the device with O_EXCL but then it risks making a valid
  exclusive user of the device fail w/ -EBUSY.

* Userland polling is unnecessarily heavy and in-kernel implementation
  is lighter and better coordinated (workqueue, timer slack).

This patch implements framework for in-kernel disk event handling,
which includes media presence polling.

* bdops->check_events() is added, which supercedes ->media_changed().
  It should check whether there's any pending event and return if so.
  Currently, two events are defined - DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE and
  DISK_EVENT_EJECT_REQUEST.  ->check_events() is guaranteed not to be
  called parallelly.

* gendisk->events and ->async_events are added.  These should be
  initialized by block driver before passing the device to add_disk().
  The former contains the mask of all supported events and the latter
  the mask of all events which the device can report without polling.
  /sys/block/*/events[_async] export these to userland.

* Kernel parameter block.events_dfl_poll_msecs controls the system
  polling interval (default is 0 which means disable) and
  /sys/block/*/events_poll_msecs control polling intervals for
  individual devices (default is -1 meaning use system setting).  Note
  that if a device can report all supported events asynchronously and
  its polling interval isn't explicitly set, the device won't be
  polled regardless of the system polling interval.

* If a device is opened exclusively with write access, event checking
  is automatically disabled until all write exclusive accesses are
  released.

* There are event 'clearing' events.  For example, both of currently
  defined events are cleared after the device has been successfully
  opened.  This information is passed to ->check_events() callback
  using @clearing argument as a hint.

* Event checking is always performed from system_nrt_wq and timer
  slack is set to 25% for polling.

* Nothing changes for drivers which implement ->media_changed() but
  not ->check_events().  Going forward, all drivers will be converted
  to ->check_events() and ->media_change() will be dropped.

Tejun Heo d4d7762995 block: clean up blkdev_get() wrappers and their users
After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and
open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get().
Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path().

blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum().
blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't
automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode.

All users are converted.  Most conversions are mechanical and don't
introduce any behavior difference.  There are several exceptions.

* btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no
  reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put().

* gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in
  sb->s_mode.

* With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain
  FMODE_EXCL.  WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect
  errors.

The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments.
While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

Tejun Heo e525fd89d3 block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access
Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.

* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.

* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.

* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
  the other way around, respectively.

* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
  symlinks.

* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().

The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access.  Reorganize the interface such that,

* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
  @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
  gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.

* blkdev_put() is similarly extended.  It now takes @mode argument and
  if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access.  Also, when
  the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
  removed automatically.

* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
  necessary and either made static or removed.

* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
  is no longer necessary and removed.

* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
  and blkdev_get().  It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
  test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().

* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
  blkdev_get().

Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should).  This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.

open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features.  Well, let's leave them for another day.

Most conversions are straight-forward.  drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

support and unnecessary mixup with bd_claim/release functionalities.

Strip it down to what's necessary (single gendisk holder) and make it
use a separate interface.  This is a step for cleaning up
bd_claim/release.  This patch makes dm-table slightly more complex but
it will be simplified again with further changes.

Nick Piggin 7ccf19a804 fs: inode split IO and LRU lists
The use of the same inode list structure (inode->i_list) for two
different list constructs with different lifecycles and purposes
makes it impossible to separate the locking of the different
operations. Therefore, to enable the separation of the locking of
the writeback and reclaim lists, split the inode->i_list into two
separate lists dedicated to their specific tracking functions.

Dave Chinner a5491e0c7b fs: switch bdev inode bdi's correctly
bdev inodes can remain dirty even after their last close. Hence the
BDI associated with the bdev->inode gets modified duringthe last
close to point to the default BDI. However, the bdev inode still
needs to be moved to the dirty lists of the new BDI, otherwise it
will corrupt the writeback list is was left on.

Add a new function bdev_inode_switch_bdi() to move all the bdi state
from the old bdi to the new one safely. This is only a temporary
measure until the bdev inode<->bdi lifecycle problems are sorted
out.

Christoph Hellwig dd3932eddf block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT
All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
caller.  To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

Chris Wright b7300b78d1 blkdev: cgroup whitelist permission fix
The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant
permission to a disk partition that is not currently open.  Part of
blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk.

Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition
on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access
to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in
a different context.

The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a
partition.

Arnd Bergmann 6e9624b8ca block: push down BKL into .open and .release
The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.

This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.

The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

Tejun Heo e75aa85892 block_dev: always serialize exclusive open attempts
bd_prepare_to_claim() incorrectly allowed multiple attempts for
exclusive open to progress in parallel if the attempting holders are
identical.  This triggered BUG_ON() as reported in the following bug.

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16393

__bd_abort_claiming() is used to finish claiming blocks and doesn't
work if multiple openers are inside a claiming block.  Allowing
multiple parallel open attempts to continue doesn't gain anything as
those are serialized down in the call chain anyway.  Fix it by always
allowing only single open attempt in a claiming block.

This problem can easily be reproduced by adding a delay after
bd_prepare_to_claim() and attempting to mount two partitions of a
disk.

Josef Bacik 18e9e5104f Introduce freeze_super and thaw_super for the fsfreeze ioctl
Currently the way we do freezing is by passing sb>s_bdev to freeze_bdev and then
letting it do all the work.  But freezing is more of an fs thing, and doesn't
really have much to do with the bdev at all, all the work gets done with the
super.  In btrfs we do not populate s_bdev, since we can have multiple bdev's
for one fs and setting s_bdev makes removing devices from a pool kind of tricky.
This means that freezing a btrfs filesystem fails, which causes us to corrupt
with things like tux-on-ice which use the fsfreeze mechanism.  So instead of
populating sb->s_bdev with a random bdev in our pool, I've broken the actual fs
freezing stuff into freeze_super and thaw_super.  These just take the
super_block that we're freezing and does the appropriate work.  It's basically
just copy and pasted from freeze_bdev.  I've then converted freeze_bdev over to
use the new super helpers.  I've tested this with ext4 and btrfs and verified
everything continues to work the same as before.

The only new gotcha is multiple calls to the fsfreeze ioctl will return EBUSY if
the fs is already frozen.  I thought this was a better solution than adding a
freeze counter to the super_block, but if everybody hates this idea I'm open to
suggestions.  Thanks,

Tejun Heo 6b4517a791 block: implement bd_claiming and claiming block
Currently, device claiming for exclusive open is done after low level
open - disk->fops->open() - has completed successfully.  This means
that exclusive open attempts while a device is already exclusively
open will fail only after disk->fops->open() is called.

cdrom driver issues commands during open() which means that O_EXCL
open attempt can unintentionally inject commands to in-progress
command stream for burning thus disturbing burning process.  In most
cases, this doesn't cause problems because the first command to be
issued is TUR which most devices can process in the middle of burning.
However, depending on how a device replies to TUR during burning,
cdrom driver may end up issuing further commands.

This can't be resolved trivially by moving bd_claim() before doing
actual open() because that means an open attempt which will end up
failing could interfere other legit O_EXCL open attempts.
ie. unconfirmed open attempts can fail others.

This patch resolves the problem by introducing claiming block which is
started by bd_start_claiming() and terminated either by bd_claim() or
bd_abort_claiming().  bd_claim() from inside a claiming block is
guaranteed to succeed and once a claiming block is started, other
bd_start_claiming() or bd_claim() attempts block till the current
claiming block is terminated.

bd_claim() can still be used standalone although now it always
synchronizes against claiming blocks, so the existing users will keep
working without any change.

blkdev_open() and open_bdev_exclusive() are converted to use claiming
blocks so that exclusive open attempts from these functions don't
interfere with the existing exclusive open.

This problem was discovered while investigating bko#15403.

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15403

The burning problem itself can be resolved by updating userspace
probing tools to always open w/ O_EXCL.
